The big lesson in kindergarten today was on feelings. Aidan got off the bus abuzz with talk about sad and happy, shy and angry. I heard him discussing his day with Brennan a few hours later.
Aidan: "What did you do at Sports Camp today Brennan?"
Brennan: "I didn't have sports camp. Too much snow. Mommy said we couldn't go."
Aidan: "Hmmm, and how did that make you feel Brennan?"
Brennan: "I don't know."
Aidan: "Were you sad you didn't go to Sports Camp?"
Brennan: Shrugs his shoulders, "I guess so."
Aidan: "Were you mad you didn't go to Sports Camp?"
Brennan: "Maybe."
Aidan smiles brightly and slaps Brennan on the shoulder, "Brennan, do you know what? Those are your feelings! Your feelings!" Brennan nods his head in some half hearted agreement.
Meanwhile, I was doubled over with muffled laughter. My child has become the Dr. Phil of Kindergarten. I fully expect his next comment to be something akin to 'how's that working for you?'.
